http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/latestnews/Exclusive-Half-man-half-chimp.4028970.jpA LEADING scientist has warned a new species of "humanzee," created from breeding apes with humans, could become a reality unless the government acts to stop scientists experimenting. In an interview with The Scotsman, Dr Calum MacKellar, director of research at the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, warned the controversial draft Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill did not prevent human sperm being inseminated into animals.
The loophole doesn't look like a very convincing "accident", if you ask me. Things may not be quite so simple as they think, however. I had a hunch the germs would differ substantially, and started googling. http://www.robolase.ucsd.edu/movies.htmlThis movie in comparison to the next movie shows the extreme difference between sperm from multi-partner mating primates (chimp sperm, fast and strong) and single partner mating primates (gorilla sperm, slow and weak). Also http://www.biolreprod.org/content/32/2/399.abstract?ck=nckThese data show that chimpanzee sperm undergo extensive surface modifications during epididymal maturation and that some of these modifications may be related to exogenous proteins/glycoproteins in epididymal fluids Somehow I lost interest in researching further. I doubt any difference of this type between humans and chimps could be a scale-tipping factor for the deluded. Just look at how many obvious differences everyone already sees.
